ALT attribute for images

Description

Images generated from TiddlyWiki markup currently do not have an ALT attribute.

This means that when the respective image file is not available/accessible, there will be no placeholder, just an invisible element. (Not to mention that the resulting HTML code is invalid.)

That in turn can easily lead to confusion, so there should always be an ALT attribute (either using the specified title, or the filename as a fallback value).

Patch attached. (Note that there's some odd behavior that I haven't looked into yet; when a link has been specified, the text disappears on mouse-over/hover.)

The image formatter already supports the image.title attribute; the difference between .title and .alt is subtle:

I'm not sure that it's worth implementing support for both features - I can't imagine many mainstream TW users caring about the difference between them. I wondered whether it made sense instead to just put the current .title attribute text into the .alt attribute as well?

Won't fix because of Jeremy's comment of 12/11/07.

Reopened: This should be fixed, as the ALT attribute is required for images according to the specs.
